The Phoenix Beys

✔Chapter 16

"Destroyer Dome? Yeah, that's coming up." Masamune said from the other end of the video call Gingka and the others were making.

Zeo, Toby and Seraphine were also with him as they spoke to their Japanese friends.

Seraphine, or Sera as she's better known, has dark blue hair that is wavy and reaches her hips, pale skin and emerald green eyes. She was introduced to the group at the World Championships as she went to cheer on her boyfriend, Tsubasa. She's not a Blader, but is very knowledgeable when it comes to Beys and Bey battles.

"Apparently, the American and the Russian space programs created a special stadium that they developed in a joined effort and it's been completed." Masamune explained. "So they're holding a big special event to celebrate its opening."

"Come on! I want to be in that too!" Gingka complained.

"Do you know if any applicants in the tournament are from Europe?" Scarlett asked. "We think a person we're chasing might've entered the tournament there."

"It's possible, but Bladers from all over the world have come here to be a part of this tournament." Masamune said. "Even Rushka came back from her trip to Australia to battle in it."

As if on cue, the bubbly brunette decided to walk into the room and join the conversation.

"Rushka!" Gingka, Madoka and Scarlett exclaimed, happy to see the girl.

"Hey, guys! Been a while." Rushka replied with her usual bright smile.

They'd met Rushka during the World Championships as she was able to come see Masamune, one of her best friends, battle a couple of times due to the travelling she was doing at the time.

She has light brown hair that is wavy and reaches her shoulders, a pale skin tone and bright golden eyes.

"How was Australia?" Madoka asked.

"Oh, it was great! I loved it!" Rushka said. "Say, how about I tell you all about it the next time we meet? I can tell you guys have something more important to talk about at the moment."

Gingka nodded.

"It's good to see you, but you are right." He said.

Rushka gave one last smile as she stepped back from the screen and stood between Zeo - who wrapped an arm around her waist as she returned the gesture - and Toby.

"Anyway, I have no idea where each of the applicants are from." Masamune said, getting back to the matter at hand. "How could I?"

"From all over the world?! I'm in then! I'm coming there!" Gingka exclaimed, keen to be part of another tournament.

"It's too late for that, I'm afraid." Seraphine said. "The qualifying tournament has already ended."

Gingka threw a mini tantrum at that in disappointment as he really wanted to be able to battle and Yuki stepped in to end the call.

"Thanks. At any rate, we're going to head there right now." He told them. "See you later guys."

The screen went blank at that.

"That was weird." Zeo commented.

"They are the noisiest people I've ever met in my whole life." Masamune said.

"You obviously haven't met yourself then." Rushka deadpanned.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Masamune exclaimed.

"You're just proving her point." Zeo sweatdropped.

Rushka gave a cheeky smile as Masamune squinted his eyes at her in a small glare.
